Abstract Revealing the genetic basis for stress-resistant traits in extremophile plants will yield important information crop improvement. Zygophyllum xanthoxylum, an extant species of ancient Mediterranean, is a succulent xerophyte that can maintain favorable water status under desert habitats; however, this adaptive trait poorly understood. Furthermore, phylogenetic position Zygophyllales, to which Z. xanthoxylum belongs, remains controversial. In study, we sequenced and assembled...
